Develops skills in creating and using physics-based and Design 905 mathematical models of physiological processes. Focuses on using integrative and hierarchical modelling approaches to scale models from the protein function level to cell and tissue function and then to models of organ physiology and systems physiology at the whole-body level.
Principles and practice of techniques used to develop, construct and use devices and systems for conducting precise measurements in bioengineering research. Application of modern tools for extracting useful biological or physiological information directly from the measured data.
Supervised research on a topic of interest in bioengineering assigned by the Director of the Auckland Bioengineering Institute. Requires independent thought and action to investigate the topic in depth and produce an analysis of the problem and its solution using appropriate analytical, computational and/or experimental techniques culminating in a single sole-authored written report.
Students are required to submit a thesis on a topic assigned by the Director of Bioengineering.
